Title: 'UFSun' Peach
Authors: R.E. Rouse, W.B. Sherman and P.M. Lyrene
Abstract:
'UFSun' peach, [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch], is released for grower trial by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. Trees produce attractive, sweet tasting, yellow and non-melting flesh, semiclingstone fruit intended for fresh use. 'UFSun' is suggested for central and south Florida from Tampa to Orlando and south of Interstate 4. It may be used to replace 'UFGold' (5) peach in south Florida because it sets fruit more reliably at Immokalee, especially under night temperatures near and above 14°C during bloom to shuck split (3). 'UFSun' originated from a 1995 cross of Fla. 90-50cn nectarine x 'UFGold' peach, was selected and propagated in 1997, and tested as Fla. 97-20c. Fla. 90-50cn originated as an F2 of Fla. 84-18c (Diamante op) x Fla. 9-20c [complex parentage in (5)].
